Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock, who recently teamed up with Tom Hanks in 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close', says she had to do tougher parts than her co-star.



The 47-year-old actress said Hanks missed the intense parts since the 'Larry Crowne' actor was mostly seen in sweet moments with Thomas Horn, Ace Showbiz reported.

"I mean he [Horn] and Tom got to play, and really connect and bond and show that similarity," she said. 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' revolves around Horn's character who tries to make sense of his father's death during the September 11 attacks and goes in search to find a lock that fits a mysterious key.

Bullock previously said that she had to hold back her maternal instincts when filming the post 9/11 movie.

"When you have maternal instincts towards a child the first thing you want to do is go to that child and just protectu00a0- and that was exactly what I was not gonna do. It was hard," she said.
